[FIXED] SessionFactory addAnnotatedClass method not found

Issue

I am following a spring course covering hibernate and I think I'm missing something in my pom.xml. Java cannot find the addAnnotatedClass method. The class I'm watching isn't using maven and I didn't want to download all of the jars manually. The documentation has the method href="https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/5.3/javadocs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here that isn't deprecated.

package hibernate;

import hibernate.entity.Student;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;


public class CreateStudentDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        
        //create session factory
        SessionFactory factory =  new Configuration()
                .configure("hibernate.cfg.xml")
                .buildSessionFactory();
        factory.addAnnotatedClass(Student.class);
        //create session
        Session session = factory.getCurrentSession();
        try {
            Student student = new Student("A", "B", "[email protected]");
            
            //start transaction
            session.beginTransaction();
            //save object
            session.save(student);
            //commit transaction
            session.getTransaction().commit();
            
        }finally {
            session.close();
        }
    }

}

Solution

May be your hibernate version is not matching.

According to following post you need to use hibernate-core 3.6.0 or higher than that.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.addAnnotatedClass
